I do however think TRS are stronger then Bravos, at the same time the Mistress is a HEAVY boat and I am hard on stuff... lol

SAcale it, I don't believe what books say, 33 Bravo Donzi I have a hard time believing its THAT HEAVY... maybe I am wrong, but ..Tommy weighed his Mistress was 11,700 we have same setup with AC and all that... 4-5 ft more boat, heavier layup, we have transmissions and bigger drives... I still don't see the 33 Donzi weighing 11,000 loaded...

Been following this and wondering if those of us with heavy deep v bottoms need to stay away from 4 blades due to stern lift. I know with my 255 that with it's sharp entry I dart around like a top water bass lure if bow is down too much. I'm running 23" Mirage plus on B I's and seems to be a fit for me (6200 loaded weight w/825 HP/850 TQ total).
Have you thought about a set of "Seriously" tuned 25" mirage Plus? seems to me with the Cigarette straight bottom you want to keep the bow up to keep hull surface out of the water.
I have never run any 4 blades so I have know experience with them but seems to me 4 blades work against us in a 24* Deep V.

They can go with any prop and power in TRS, at the same time I also know any prop that has proper slip rate will smoke one, 3 or 4 blade, The goal is most likely gonna be 25 plus 3 blade most of the time, a 4 blade if I wanna do more cruising for a while... not sure I get a handful of guys that ran 4 blades with no issues either, they either break or they don't lol
